  1. GCC summit in Ottawa by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on GCC 4.2.1 Released

    The real news is actually the GCC summit in Ottawa (17-20 july 2007). I was there and it was interesting.

  2. What about code developed outside of Canada? by millermj · · Score: 1 · on Canada Introduces DMCA-Style Copyright Law
    One of the reasons for having some of the most important Linux events in Ottawa was that by going to Canada you would escape the U.S.'s DMCA and therefore avoid situations like what happened to Dmitri Sklyarov in 2002, regarding his so-called violation of the DMCA. Refresher: Dmitri was arrested in the U.S. for code he developed for Elcomsoft in his home country of Russia which circumvented some copyright mechanisms to convert files to eBooks. I wonder if:
    • The Canadian version of this law will be enforced in the same way, and
    • whether this might cause the organizers of these events to change the venue in future years.
  3. Autovectorization being add in GCC 4.0 by shawnce · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Grand Unified Theory of SIMD

    For those that don't already know is that autovectorization is being worked on for GCC by folks from IBM and others.

    GCC vectorizatoin project (site seem offline atm) but the abstract from a recent GCC summit is up.

  4. Re:Slow C++ compiler by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Java Faster Than C++?
    As far as MacOS goes -- hope that the IBM compilers eventually become the defaults, or that the g++ maintainers eventually admit that their optimization blows and then fix things. The former is probably more likely than the latter.
    The latter seems more likely(Note that IBM was a sponsor of the summit).
  5. Re:GNU STL not commercial quality by cimetmc · · Score: 1 · on Java Faster Than C++?

    You should also note that lately, the GCC developers have put more effort in speeding up libstdc++. You might want to check the GCC 3.4 release notes and the Proceedings of the GCC summit in that context.

  6. Re:woo hoo! by Slapdash+X.+Hashbang · · Score: 2, Informative · on Yet Another Perl Conference - Canada

    You must have really had your nose in the books. Ottawa is also home to OLS,
    OSW,
    the GCC Summit, and the Kernel Summit (see http://lwn.net/Articles/3467/ ). Other stuff too. :)
